US Supreme Court shows some support to Trump's travel ban

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared poised to uphold President Donald Trump'stravel ban as key justices used an argument session to aim skeptical questions at a lawyer challenging the policy.

Protesters outside the Supreme Court Wednesday demonstrate against President Donald Trump's travel ban, deemed a "Muslim ban" my critics, which is to be ruled on by the end of the day.

The Trump administration is arguing that the ban is in the best interest of USA national security, while critics say the move is discriminatory because it impacts mostly Muslim countries.

MR. KATYAL: Our statutory point to you is that ifyou accept this order, you're giving the president a power no president in 100 years has exercised, an executive proclamation that countermands Congress's policy judgments.He has zero examples to say that when Congress has stepped into the space and solved the exact problem, that the president can then come in and say: No, I want a different solution.

Every time Trump passes a legal test with these orders, someone brings another legal action and finds a liberal judge who's willing to "strike down" Trump's perfectly legal action, forcing the matter to go all the way to the Supreme Court before we get the inevitable re-assertion that, yes, President Trump has the same authority as all other presidents and he is allowed to use it.
